Now, while you hold down the Shift key, press the End key. Right-click with your mouse inside the box (make sure the text is selected) and select Copy from the menu. Once you've done this, you can past the info in the Command line box.

  3. Press Finish
  4. Right-click this new shortcut, and from the menu choose Properties
